The picks for the coaches’ preseason All-SEC teams came in on Tuesday and Florida had five players named across the three units.
Right guard O’Cyrus Torrence made the first team as he has in several other preseason lists, defensive lineman Gervon Dexter and linebacker Brenton Cox Jr. made the second team, and fifth-year players Ventrell Miller and Trey Dean made the third team.
Dexter and Dean both have asterisks next to their names to denote a tie in the voting, which is not broken on the preseason lists. That’s not quite a big deal with Dexter, considering he’d make the third team instead of the second with one less vote, but Dean would’ve been left off the list if not for the tie.
Alabama led the way with a league-leading 19 representatives, six of which were first-teamers. Georgia also broke double digits with 10 players on the list and Texas A&M finished third with nine preseason All-SEC players. Every team in the conference had a player on the roster.
